EN Founded in 1990 in Helsinki, AMORPHIS have worked their way up to the top of the European metal scene over the last decades. However the term “metal“ doesn’t necessarily define the band anymore. Sure, originally the disciples around mastermind Esa Holopainen were definitely death metal, but gradually developed their very own genre. Any band could release a best of album for their 20th anniversary, especially one with an impressive back catalogue such as AMORPHIS. But the sixpiece put together an essential list of old classics, fan faves and cover versions and completely re-recorded them! So for the first time, all fans have the opportunity to see how old, death metallish material like “Vulgar Necrolatryâ€, their biggest hit in the 90s “Black Winter Dayâ€, or the much loved live anthem “My Kantele†sounds with “new†singer Tomi Joutsen! A must have for old and new AMORPHIS fans alike, and an exciting journey throughout the band’s illustrious career! DE 1990 in Helsinki gegründet, haben sich AMORPHIS in den letzten Jahrzehnten an die Spitze der europäischen Metal-Szene hochgearbeitet. Allerdings definiert der Begriff „Metal“ die Band nicht mehr unbedingt. Sicher, ursprünglich waren die Jünger um Mastermind Esa Holopainen definitiv Death Metal, entwickelten sich aber nach und nach zu einer eigenen Melange. Jede Band könnte zu ihrem 20-jährigen Jubiläum ein Best-of-Album veröffentlichen, besonders eines mit einem beeindruckenden Backkatalog wie AMORPHIS. Aber das Sixpiece hat eine unverzichtbare Liste alter Klassiker, Fanfavoriten und Coverversionen zusammengestellt und komplett neu eingespielt! So haben alle Fans erstmals die Möglichkeit zu hören, wie altes, death-metall-lastiges Material wie „Vulgar Necrolatry“, ihr größter Hit in den 90ern „Black Winter Day“ oder die allseits beliebte Live-Hymne „My Kantele“ mit dem „neuen“ Sänger Tomi Joutsen klingen! Ein Muss für alte und neue AMORPHIS-Fans gleichermaßen und eine aufregende Reise durch die illustre Karriere der Band!
